in case it helps but you haven't already seen it, the verbosity of <Logger> can be tweaked, see same page as in last reply.
Can I just check what you are saying: are you saying that the standard output to the file which captures stdout is different on the 2 platforms, even with out-of-the-box TC config? This would be a surprise, I was under the impression that TC was functionally identical on whatever platform (the only difference really being the exact pathnames to files). So I just had a quick look at catalina.bat vs catalina.sh on 5.5.9 (my installed version) and it appears that there could be a difference: catalina.sh starts the bootstrap class with the redirection '>> "$CATALINA_BASE"/logs/catalina.out 2>&1' appended, whereas the windows bat file does nothing like this; there is no redirection at all that I can see, or even a mention of the logfile name. Maybe this explains what you're seeing - the gubbins that is output to the DOS window when you start in DOS is perhaps included in the log file instead when you run under linux? This is only a guess, I have not had time to check it out. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Burke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday 31 October 2005 16:21 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Tomcat logging - Persistence of Logs > > > Indeed, I have a daily log already but it doesn't seem to be > as verbose > as the stdout.log. > > I was just wondering if the default log - stdout.log in Windows, > catalina.out in linux - could be made to behave the same way > on the two > platforms.
